MSCC Penley Police Report

Dear All,

I’m sure you are aware that our area has always been lucky enough to experience low levels off crime and I am pleased to report that crime is now down by around 23% on the same period as last year, however we must not become too relaxed as this can lave us vulnerable, please have a read of the below advice and don’t hesitate to contact us if you see anything suspicious.

Warm Weather / Holiday Crime Prevention Advice.

With the warmer days and nights approaching residents are more prone to leave windows and doors open to their properties, unfortunately potentially leaves your vulnerable. A few extra precautions will reduce this risk.

1) Remember to close and lock all windows and doors when leaving the premises unoccupied. If you have an alarm, remember to switch it on.

2) When going to bed at night close and lock all ground floor windows, or have window restrictors fitted if this is not reasonable (but please do not be too alarmed as statistics show that you are unlikely to be burgled whilst the premises are occupied).

3) Make your home appear occupied when your not in by leaving lamps on in the evening and radios on during the day, you can purchase timers from DIY shops and large supermarkets which enable you to pre-set lamps and radios to go on and off at your chosen times over a running 24 hour period.

4) Consider marking your property with property marking kits and display the property marking stickers in your windows, this does help as a deterrent and reduces the risk of you being burgled. Property marking kits are not very expensive and can be purchased from good DIY outlets.

5) If you see anything suspicious please do not hesitate to call police on 999, you could save someone's property from being broken into or stolen.

6) For more crime prevention advice and security surveys our area feel free to contact your local policing team on 0845 607 1002.

We all like to get away on Holiday, but its worth remembering to take a few precautions.

If you are lucky enough to be going away on holiday in the near future it is worth sitting down and thinking of some simple measures you can take to ensure that when you return, your home is as you left it.

It is a good idea to get a trustworthy relative or neighbour to keep an eye on your house while you are away. Remember, if you leave keys with someone, don't put your address or name on them, just in case they get lost or stolen.

Also feel free to contact your local policing team and let us know your will be away, we can then do our best to keep an eye on things in your absence.
